Correct. Many things can impede the flow (meaning to slow or retard movement). That term has no contractual relationship as far as I know. Outside forces (from Envoy management) can impede the flow like those of AA fleet and staffing for the near future that just hasn't been finalized or disseminated and the Letter T situation. Likewise, economic or political issues could impede the flow due to impact on hiring at AA.

I have never stated, nor do I believe the 824 agreement will be violated per se. The protected pilot agreement is something in my opinion that is very likely to be modified by agreement, but those factors haven't yet manifested themselves yet. Consolidation involving Envoy would be a major factor in that future consideration, but again that is simply my opinion.
